It will be used for many things, but number one is to provide a little space for kids to get the experience of business by helping them sell cherry lemonade by the glass. It is all about the learning. Parents will pay $10 for their 4 to 10 year old to participate. Then, they get to keep half of what they sell and they donate the other half to one of 6 good causes. What answer most reflects your feelings of the lemonade stand Make it beautiful, because I would love a photo of my kid selling lemonade I am interested, but my kid could sell no longer than one hour It would be great if the parents took a backseat in this and let the kids figure it out with a little CR assistance. It would be cool if they could also bring something along that they made or found to sell along with it like Petoskey stones, necklaces, or painted rocks. I have no kids, but I would happily to purchase a glass of lemonade in your gardens. I have no interest in this. Done
